Import this BrowseWithTC.reg into the registry by pressing enter on the file (adjust the path if necessary):

Code: Select all

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Total Commander]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Total Commander\command]
@="\"c:\\Program Files\\Total Commander\\TOTALCMD.EXE\" /O /T \"%1\""

[Xtrician]

Thank you.

[SanskritFritz]

You're welcome.
Just one request: please make your subject more descriptive, like "TC in folder context menu?", or "Can I browse a folder with TC from Explorer?"

What about Total Comander launcher?

[Xtrician]

Seems nice but why to install that if you can to do that by little script..

[Balderstrom]

Yeah and its advanced functionality is $24.95, functionality that can be attained with various freeware menu-launcher/explorers, a few reg tweaks and some file association changes.

Small addition for SanskritFritz's context extension above:

For better keyboard usage you can give it a hotkey by assigning a description including an "&", like

Code: Select all

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Total Commander]
@="&Total Commander (open in)"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Total Commander\command]
@="\"c:\\Program Files\\Total Commander\\TOTALCMD.EXE\" /O /T \"%1\""

It is "Accelerator", not a hotkey

[StatusQuo]

It is "Accelerator", not a hotkey

You're right.


P.S.: This also works for selected files (not only folders):

Code: Select all

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Total_Commander]
@="&Total Commander (open in)"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Total_Commander\command]
@=""c:\\Program Files\\Total Commander\\TOTALCMD.EXE" /O /T /S /L="%1"" 

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Total_Commander]
@="&Total Commander (open in dir)"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Total_Commander\command]
@=""c:\\Program Files\\Total Commander\\TOTALCMD.EXE" /O /T /S /L="%1""

[leopoldus]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Total_Commander\command]
@="\"c:\\Program Files\\Total Commander\\TOTALCMD.EXE\" /O /T /S /L=\"%1\""

This command does not work properly for me 'cause the conflict with the packer plugin fhRAR. It gives every time the error message: "fhRAR AAA.txt: Not a valid RAR archive" Have no any idea, why fhRAR intercepts hadling every non-RAR file being sending to TC from the OS. Is there any workaround?

BTW, where is it possible to view the meaning of those parameteres [/b]"/O /T /S /L" used in this command?
